After returning to Kyoto, she applied for a transfer of household registration so that she no longer needed a letter of introduction when living in Kyoto.
Now four months have passed and the house has begun to take shape. I heard from Master Wang that the house will be completed before winter.
Now that she had no place to live, she decided to go out for another trip. This should be her last time to the black market.
When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, she had just finished traveling through a province. The exam was only a month away, so she decided not to hang out outside and go home.
As the old saying goes: When weaving baskets or rattan baskets, the most important thing is the closing. She has been learning this for several years and will be using it soon, so of course she can't relax.
She is now a registered resident of Kyoto, so she has to go back to Kyoto to register for the college entrance examination. Also, the house in Kyoto has been completed, so she has to go back to inspect the results. So she packed her luggage and returned to Kyoto.
"How deep is the courtyard?" is the most appropriate way to describe the Siheyuan. The quaint and elegant courtyard made her feel like she was traveling through time.
Lin Ximan asked these workers who had families to call a few young women who were able to work at home, and gave them one dollar a day to clean up the finished rooms, mopping and sweeping what needed to be swept.
There is strength in numbers, and the house was cleaned up in just two days. They were cleaning an empty house, and she put out the furniture she had collected in the past few years after everyone left, and placed it in each room. She was afraid that something might happen if people saw it, after all, GW was still there.
The furniture in her master bedroom is all made of rosewood. There is a saying among the people, "Sit on rosewood and sleep on rosewood." Using rosewood to make a bed is said to have a calming effect.
She liked that cabinet the most. The carving on the surface of the red sandalwood nine-dragon top cabinet looked extremely delicate, and the surface also had an oily fluorescent texture, and it seemed to be made of old red sandalwood.
These were collected by her over the past few years, and now they seem to be able to be assembled into a set of furniture, which does not look out of place at all.
Originally, the master did not plan to carve a ceiling, but when he saw that Lin Ximan had given him more small-leaf red sandalwood, he made a carved ceiling for the reception room in the second courtyard after entering the hanging flower gate. Lin Ximan thought this was a good idea and added a few more pieces of wood, otherwise he would not be able to carve the Nine Dragons pattern.
There are nine pillars on the roof, all made of red sandalwood. They are carved with a pattern of nine dragons playing with a pearl, and are matched with a huge hemispherical crystal chandelier base. Below them are dragon-shaped lamps made up of strips of lamp posts. The light bulbs inside are remotely controlled and can change different colors, giving a really magnificent feeling.
The second-floor house has a two-story ceiling that goes up to the sky, which is a bit like a loft in later times. There is a railing on the second floor that overlooks the living room on the first floor. Because it is a second floor, it is possible to have a ceiling with a sculpture and hang a large chandelier.
The doors and partitions in each room are all made of wood carved with patterns. As soon as you enter the house, you feel like you have stepped into the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It is truly beautiful.
Now looking at it as a whole, this mansion with five entrances is really high-end, grand and classy. Fortunately, the wood is not very eye-catching at this time, otherwise a house decorated like this would definitely attract attention.
Many people have been rehabilitated this year, and many families have begun to clean up their houses and rebuild their yards. She was able to take advantage of this opportunity. Having said that, her place was also conspicuous. Fortunately, the people who worked for her kept their mouths shut and didn't say anything, so she was able to live here peacefully.
The mansion is beautifully decorated, but it’s not the right season to plant flowers, plants and trees. We can only wait until next spring, otherwise it would be perfect.
After settling the bill here, they gave us some meat and fruit as a thank you, so that both of them had a good impression. Next year they will go to renovate the second courtyard of Liren Lane, and in the future we will ask them to build a cross courtyard and a garden.
After going to the street office to get a letter of introduction, she went to the college entrance examination registration office to register, and went home to start the final sprint. Although she had graduated for two years, she had never put down her textbooks. Coupled with her abnormal memory, she was definitely OK in the liberal arts.
As for science, after so many sets of training in the space, do you think she is not good at science?
In the past month, she has done several more test papers and consolidated her English and various languages. She still needs to use these languages, so she decided to watch a movie, which would be a good opportunity to relax her nerves.
On the day of the college entrance examination, she took a pen, admission ticket, pencil and eraser and went to Huangchenggen Primary School to take the exam.
Today, there are crowds of people here. There are not only people coming to take the exam, but more are their family members accompanying them to take the exam.
China has always attached great importance to education, even in the turmoil of the past ten years. She was assigned to the examination room on the second floor, which was almost full. The people in this examination room were all around 20 years old. Some were chatting passionately, some were organizing stationery, and some were praying, just like the children in the examination room in later generations.
The exam lasted three days. On the first day, we took politics in the morning, history and geography in the afternoon for liberal arts, and physics and chemistry in the afternoon for science. On the second day, we took math in the morning and Chinese in the afternoon. On the third day, we took an additional test, and we could take a foreign language or not, as it was not a compulsory test at that time.
She took exams during these three days, including English, but the school she applied to was not a foreign language college, but one of the two most famous universities in Kyoto: Huaqing University, and she did not want to be transferred.
After all the exams were over, she felt completely relieved. The first major thing in her life was finally accomplished.
After that, it was a long wait, waiting for the admission letter to arrive. She hoped that her admission letter would be delivered to her smoothly, and not be pushed away by someone else like in the novels.
You know what, if her grades hadn’t been so outstanding, her university place would have been taken by someone else.
More than a month had passed, and her letter of admission had still not arrived. She was a little worried. Could it be that good things don’t work and bad things don’t work? She applied to Huaqing University, and she was in Kyoto, so she should have arrived long ago, right?
One day, she packed up and was about to go to the nearby post office to ask, when she heard someone knocking at the door. She thought it was the postman who finally came, but when she opened the door, she found that the person was not the postman at all, but a middle-aged uncle she didn't know.
"Excuse me, are you Lin Ximan?" the uncle asked the overly pretty girl in front of him with a smile.
Lin Ximan nodded with a vigilant look on her face and replied: "I am Lin Ximan, I don't know who you are? What do you want from me?"
The man smiled at her and said, "I'm the office director of the Kyoto Education Bureau. My last name is Zhang. I'm here to invite you to my office."
Education Bureau? Why are you looking for me? If she doesn't want to go, then go. She is not afraid of being kidnapped. She is capable and is not afraid of those things.
Director Zhang came on a bicycle. Lin Ximan also went into the yard and pushed her bicycle out. The two went to the Education Bureau together.
Lin Ximan asked a few more questions on the way, but Director Zhang just said that she would know when she got there. She had no choice. Besides, it was a cold day and they were going for a drive. What else was there to ask? Then just shut up.
